While the theme is Share The Load I would like to consider it as Share The Responsibility. Because when one considers it Load people tend to shy away from doing it. But if its your responsibility than you have to do it.
The recent lockdown has brought many many changes in a household. Some are good and some are bad. Unlike Pre Covid days when the members of the household had very little time after their work/education. But now since everyone is locked up inside the home time, deadline, target are not the major concern. But rather the household chores, physical well being and the mental health are of bigger concern.
Family members have to take their responsibility for the above point.
Household Chores
When every family member spending their whole time inside the house the household chores have grown by leap and bounds. Preparation of food multiple times, cleaning the house, dishwashing and increased laundry are the story of every household. Every family member has to take one or the other responsibility for a happy household. In this way there will be no extra burden on a single member.

Physical Well Being.
Due to no outing and unable to play outdoor sports , physical well being has taken a back seat in this time. Family members have to devote time to have some physical activities like Yoga, Indoor exercise. There are numerous applications , youtube videos providing online exercise, yoga etc.
Mental Health
Mental Health is now a bigger concern than the physical health. In lockdown when one is not able to go outside and unwind, depleting savings, loss in business, news of salary cut or the fear of losing job all things are taking a toll on mental health. In this time family and friends can play a bigger role. Now its the time to have that conversation which is bothering you. now its the time speak with near and dear ones. As family member try to cheer everyone by watching a movie together rather in your own devices. Try to play games like Carrom, ludo, housie etc. together .
